Qwik-Smarts w/ Dr. Jeffrey Lant
We all like getting free stuff. It's the American way. But how would you like it if I told you that every single day of your life you could get UNLIMITED FREE ADS? You'd think I was pulling your leg, right? Wrong! It's true. It's available now. You can do start within minutes of completing this report... and you can benefit every single day hereafter.
What is this miracle? Posting to Internet Newsgroups. It's something I do every day to boost the traffic at Worldprofit (now over 200,000 visitors a month); traffic volume has been growing very fast as a result of this kind of promotion (in tandem with everything else we do)... and you can benefit from it, too.
Here's how GETTING UNLIMITED FREE ADS works.
Finding The Newsgroups
The first thing you've got to do is find the newsgroups. You do this by logging onto the Internet with either the Netscape or Microsoft browser (current version 6.0 is best). First you select "windows" from your Main Menu. Then "newsgroups." These commands automatically bring up the available newsgroups that your service provider has connected to their news server. How many can you expect? Ten? A thousand? Five thousand? Try at least 30,000 groups!

Once you've selected the commands above, the newsgroup window will come up and usually load all the available newsgroups. This takes about 20 minutes depending on the speed of your connection.
Note: If you are not yet configured for the newsgroup window in your browser, you need to contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for instructions on configuring your browser software.
Once your newsgroups are loaded, here's the situation. You're not just looking at 30,000 newsgroups... you're looking at the equivalent of 30,000 publications where you can post UNLIMITED ads from now on out. It really does boggle the mind. Let the games begin!
Getting Started: Selecting The Places You Want Your Ads To Run
Maybe the reason more people don't post their free ads to newsgroups is because of what you've got to do now. You've got to read through all 30,000 newsgroups and choose just the groups you want to go to and post in. This is both time-consuming and laborious. It's also crucial.
Before you start, however, you've got to remember that you're not going there to browse the news... you're going there to get prospects and new business. This means thinking how you can position your offer for each newsgroup. Say, for instance, that you sell books like I do. As you browse the newsgroups you need to consider:
In other words, you've got to be client-centered.
This all takes time and trouble. In a way you should be glad. Humans being what we are, sloth and procrastination creep in at this point. All too many entrepreneurs would rather become couch potatoes, curling up in front of the latest "Seinfeld" instead of going through the frankly dull task of reviewing 30,000 newsgroups and thinking about just which ones are appropriate for what you're selling. Boring though it is, perhaps we eager beavers should be grateful, since this task itself deters many from doing the work which is so lucrative for those properly doing it and using the results.
Note: there is a search program built into the browser that should help you find some groups that may be of interest to you. By all means use this feature, but don't rely on it. In this case, there is just no substitution for the laborious work of manual selection and review.
What You'll Find
As you proceed through the long list of 30,000+ newsgroups, you'll find groups with attachments like alt (for alternative) and misc (for miscellaneous). What tech nerd thought these names up, I'll probably never know, but if I find out I'll give him (or her) a piece of my mind.
You'll see groups like:
Groups are directed at specific interests... specific tastes (some grotesquely bizarre)... specific geographic locations... you name it. Your task at this point is to pick every single one that relates to what you're selling. Do you sell to entrepreneurs? To people in multi-level marketing? To people in insurance? To prospects in Connecticut? Why, then, you want to select these groups for future reference.
How do you do that? Easy. When you find a group you like, just hit the subscribe key.
That group is now tagged for future reference... its browsers ready to hear from you, old sport.
